Dirt

  I’m digging in the dirt.

  What will I find?

 

  I’m digging in the dirt.

  What will I find today?

 

 

I’m digging deeper

Deep in the depth of this rich dirt

Soil of the hands

Minerals of the soul

 

I’m digging deeper today

Down in the depths of the earth

What will I find?

What will I dig up?

Excavate?

Reveal?

 

I’m digging in the dirt.

I see an eye looking up at me

I see that beautiful eye in the soil

Under that dirt

Under that veil

Behind that wall

Behind that barrier

 

I’m digging down

I see her piercing through

Bolting like a standing beauty

Electrifying and gorgeous

Lighting up the ground

 

I grasp her hand

Soft and tender

I reach down and pull her out of the dirt

Out of today’s soil

Out of yesterday’s mud

 

I pull her up onto the earth

Onto myself

Locked

No dirt to be found.

 

 

  I’m digging in the dirt.

  What will I find?

 

  I’m digging in the dirt.

  What will I find today?

 

 

The majestic beauty arose

Her curves conquer the sea

Her eyes speak languages of lust

Her lips soft and pink

Her mind, open -

 

 

  I’m digging in the dirt.

  What will I find?

 

 

I found the angel of beauty.

The dirt.

The beauty of dirt.

And the angel sleeping beneath my feet.
